What types of alligator hunting trips are common?

Invasive Species hunting is the most popular type of hunting for alligator as well as alligator hunting.

How much does an alligator hunting trip cost?

Prices for alligator can range anywhere from about $900 to $6,595, but the average price for a half day trip for alligator is $3,878. The average price for a full day trip for alligator is $2,591.

Is booking a hunting guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a hunting guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced hunting guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is outside every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your backyard, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

What month is best for alligator hunting?

The most popular season for alligator hunting is fall, and most hunters book their trips 150 days in advance.

    Amazing experience! Hunting hogs and catching gators with Charlie was fun, exciting and rewarding. He made sure we had a great time and got our animals. Couldn't have asked for a better guide.

    Captain Zac is incredible! His local knowledge and expertise of the waterways, flora, fauna and alligator behavior are unparalleled. He's smart, professional, incredibly hard working, kind, funny, easy going and LOADS OF FUN for Hunters of all ages. My family of 4 and I booked him and everyone had an amazing time from the 60 yo, down to the 12yo. Book Captain Zac, you will not regret it!
